The Reutte Nature Park region in northern Austria is often called the gateway to Tyrol. Besides incredibly beautiful natural treasures such as Lake Plansee, the Stuiben Falls, and the Lech River, the region offers perfect conditions for tennis and padel players. But it's not just racket sports that can be enjoyed year-round in and around Reutte: hiking, biking, swimming, golfing, and much more will delight active vacationers. Add to that the renowned Tyrolean hospitality, excellent cuisine, and numerous cultural highlights. It's a vacation region that is simply predestined for a wonderful tennis or padel holiday, whether you're traveling solo, as a couple, with your family, or in a group. And because we've been holding our pre-season training camp in Reutte for years and are so enthusiastic about the region, we'd like to introduce you to the Reutte Nature Park region in detail today. Come along on a journey of discovery!
In our "TRIPLE T – TennisTraveller Tests" section, I took a closer look this time at a true speed shoe for clay court players: the Babolat Jet Mach IV women's clay court shoe in the Lavender/White colorway. With the fourth generation of the popular Jet Mach series, Babolat promises even more dynamism, improved comfort, and optimized support for quick movements. But how does the shoe perform on the court – and who is it really suitable for? You'll find the answers to these questions, along with a comparison to two other classic clay court shoes, in today's TRIPLE T review.

Tennis and club holidays – they're a perfect match. That's why I'm so pleased to introduce TennisTraveller that are especially well-suited for tennis players.

Sometimes things don't go as planned… and end up being so much better than expected. To be honest, absolutely wonderful! That sums up my 10 days with Patricio Travel at the International Wilson Open 2026 at the Ali Bey Club Manavgat, including a short trip to the Ali Bey Resort Sorgun. Instead of the planned MT1000 ITF senior tournament, I played an open tournament with fantastic singles and mixed doubles matches. Despite some unpredictable weather, the tournament organization was flawless and unfussy, and the international atmosphere was fantastic. All this at the World Class Racket Center with 59 tennis courts and a resort hotel that lacked (almost) nothing. Join me for a glimpse into my tennis tournament week in Turkey!
